I don't think I have a high tolerance but it's higher than my friends and family... 3-4 drops of the Scorpion Strike that Zodiac87 mentioned is nice and warm enough. Anymore than that and it becomes a bit of a throat irritant. It's quite different to my Dave's Ultimate Insanity, Dave's Insanity Limited Edition Reserve, Mad Dog Revenge and Satan's Blood which just give me heat, no irritation.

I've been fed stupidly hot food since I was a kid. I don't feel the heat of most spicy food, even the really hot ones. However the bowels certainly doesn't like it very much when I eat large amount of overly hot food. Have fun building up your tolerance.

Well I typically don't eat overly hot food or add chilli to my food anyway. So maybe my internals just can't handle the sudden influx of chilli. Taste buds certainly didn't mind it though. Perhaps if you eat it day in day out, you might be ok.

Extremely well. I only get a slight tang on my tongue for extra hot Nandos sauce. Can only taste the vinegar in the Tabasco. I eat raw whole chillis with my meals at home.

If anyone has been to A Night In India in glowing Brisbane. Try a vindaloo super action hot x 5 and see how you go

Growing up, parents would eat 2-3 chillis each raw for dinner. By grade 5, my mum packed me a chilli with my sandwich for lunch... Teachers were WTF when they saw me bite into a chilli, take a bite of sandwich, another bite of chilli lol

I found that they sold megadeath sauce near my work, in north syd. I went and bought some on friday, and went to a bbq today.

In preperation for the bbq, i made Jamie Oliver's Elivis Burger patties, which were ok. Early on, I divided the mixture into even parts in two seperate bowls, then added about one third of a tea spoon of mega death sauce to one half of the pattie mix. Carefully, I wrapped all the patties in non-stick bake paper and then went to the bbq, accompanied by the bottle of mega death sauce, a tub of vanilla yogurt, and other tasty condiments.

You could tell the megadeath sauce patties easily enough as they had this orange tinge to them. Yes, 1/3rd of a teaspoon changed about 500g of mince and it's other additives to orangy. You could also smell the 'toxic' off the patties.

We cooked them up, and to be honest, it wasn't as bad as what I had imagined. Then I realised, it was only about 2x as hot as an ogalos burger. Obviously we were missing vast amounts of megadeath sauce.

So, the challenge began. Everyone tried a finger dip of sauce, and besides me, and two mates, everyone pretty much pansied out on the feasting.

I lightly spread the sauce on my non-megadeathed burger pattie, and by lightly i mean, you could still see clumps of it, and in some places you couldn't, it was too thin.

The thing I realise now is, you want it to be invisible. I now understand very well why they give a warning on the bottle saying it should be diluted.

I proceeded to munch into the burger. At first it was a bit of a shock to my system, but bearable. My eyes began to water slightly. Slowly but surely, my heart rate started to climb, as did my breathing, and the more I breathed the worse it got. I munched through about 5/8ths of the burger, with water streaming from my eyes, my nose running like a malnourished world vision kid and eventually, with my arms trembling as a natural reaction against forcing the burger and all it's hatred into my mouth, I had to put it down. The crowd was going wild. My upper body was convulsing back and forth.

I started gulping down vanilla yoghurt like i was in a porno audition. My tongue was now numb. I couldn't talk properly. I saw the burger and after about 3 seconds, thought "**** it, there isn't much left", and proceeded to force the rest of it in. Something happened then to my throat after about one mouth full, it just flatly said "no nik. Bad nik", and i had to spit the rest out.

The next 20mins is kind of hard to remember. I was in a daze. I remember just going back and forth from yoghurt > beer > breathe > wipe tongue with paper towel > yoghurt > beer > breathe etc. I was making involuntary expressions. I was panting like a dog, and I couldn't control it. By about 25mins it had started to subside, it was really just my nose running then (my eyes stopped after about 5-10 mins).

I went through about 1/2 tub of yoghurt.

It was a life experience. I'd do it again, but I'll keep you posted on how it comes out on the other end. man, you need that tub of yoghurt to gargle with, and don't hold it in your mouth too long as the sauce is oily, and the yoghurt just becomes megadeath yoghurt (seriously).

just went to toilet then. had to shower after to get all the hatred off my asshole.

tip: don't handle penis after eating, even if you've scrubbed your hands. I had to shower also cause it started to burn.

If you gargle and swallow some lignocaine mouthwash (local anaesthetic solution) ... does it numb you to the effects of chilli? It won't stop the stomach upset and diarrhoea, which will probably be epic. Don't worry, lignocaine gel is safe to consume. It is usually used by doctors to numb pain from gastric ulcers. I can procure some for you if you wish

Be interesting to see what that local anaesthetic would do. AFAIK, capsaicin interacts directly with your sensory nerves, would the anaesthetic block the uptake of it? Be interesting to find out.

I've got a decent chilli tolerance, lived in Pakistan when I was very young and moved all around South East Asia eating everything I could up until my adult years and there's not any "normal" dish that I can't eat. I've never really tried any of the megadeth sauces because I don't really see the point.

Speaking of local anaesthetic, there's also naturally occuring ones. Szechuan peppercorn is a good example. The Mapo Tofu sauce I buy off the shelf actually contains Szechuan peppercorn. When you eat it, it does actually numbs the tongue a little and you get a tingling sensation in your mouth.
